Where to buy or rent fancy dress costumes

If you love dressing up, then Halloween is doubtless a day you really look forward to. You can choose fancy dress costumes that are scary or sexy (or both!), or just plain weird…! Here’s a list of the best fancy dress stores in Singapore if you want to buy clothes and accessories fairly cheaply, or rent costumes. Tip: The standard rental period is usually three days and most places require a deposit of around $100 to $300. Check them out; the party might be small this year, but it can still be fun!
